Slow smoked with hickory and maple hardwoods for an old-fashioned taste that's getting harder and harder to find. Nodine's doesn't add any water to their cure, so the bacon doesn't shrink away in the pan. Just heat to crisp and serve. The same great bacon taste you expect from Nodine's, with No Nitrites or Nitrates added (except for those naturally occuring in celery powder).

Nodine's Smokehouse Inc. was started back in 1969 as a small custom smokehouse in Goshen, Connecticut. Over the many years of hard work and dedication, this small family business outgrew the small processing plant located at the farm in Goshen. In 1989, the company moved to a remodeled and modernized facility. At the new production and shipping facility, while using the finest U.S.D.A. inspected ingredients, Nodine's has been able to capture the Old World Gourmet quality and flavor that's missing in most high volume facilities, while consistently maintaining high production.

We love this bacon and love that there is no nitrate or nitrite. It is very good. I wish we could return the cooler for a refund/reducing shipping rate. It would save the planet too.

Nitrite

Nitrites and Nitrates are what makes bacon, ham, and salami pink, so I didn't expect this bacon to have the rosy hue the previous reviewer did. More importantly it was delicious piggy!

Color is impt

the color of this uncured bacon is not appealing, we expect differences due to the nitrate-free product but I wasn't sure the bacon was safe to eat as their was a spot for a use by date but it was missing, disappointed with the color and taste, I never mind paying more for a superior product and nitrate-free is difficult to find but unless the sell by date is clearly stated I would not recommend
